Gas Sweetening Failure Pattern Recognition: From Historian to Real-Time Prevention

Gas Sweetening units can drift off-spec quickly—and often without a clear, consistent warning. In this talk, CSV Midstream will show how they organized their operational data in the PI/AVEVA Historian and used it to learn the signatures that precede GSU off-spec events. They translated those signatures into reliable, real-time pattern detectors that notify operators early—so they can intervene before amine quality, contactor performance, or regeneration conditions trigger a failure. They'll walk through the end-to-end approach: curating tags and context, labeling historical failure windows, extracting robust features, validating repeatability (minimizing false positives and misses), and deploying alerts into operations with clear operator playbooks. Attendees will leave with a practical blueprint for turning historian data into prevention—improving uptime, product quality, and emissions performance while building trust in data-driven decisions.

Adopting AI in the Industrial Sector

This presentation offers a structured overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI), moving from foundational concepts to practical, real-world application in the industrial sector. We will begin by clarifying the scope of AI and its key subsets, such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, to establish a clear conceptual framework. Next, we'll explore a range of high-impact AI applications in industrial settings, highlighting how these technologies drive innovation and operational efficiency. The core of the discussion will focus on specific examples of how AI technology is embedded and utilized within AVEVA software products to optimize performance, predict maintenance needs, and enhance decision-making. Finally, the presentation will conclude with a critical look at the key considerations that organizations must address when strategically planning the adoption and integration of AI to ensure a successful and sustainable digital transformation.
